Al-Shaddar

The Shaddarin Desert is a region in the world of Semdal that has long since succumbed to dust and heat. It has seen the rise and fall of nations and empires for over 17,000 years. It is a desolate, scalding land; war-torn by the Djinni that rule its two major cities, and preyed upon by scavengers and nomadic bandits.
Intrigue is as prevalent as sand, and riches await those brave enough to rest it from the depths of the land, or cunning enough to wrest it from the hands of others.
It is common to hear the peasantry say that the patient hands of the Shaddarin Desert grinds all into sand. Will your charred remains be swallowed by its sands? Or will you rise to heights of power envied by the Djinni themselves?
